Tessachka

Tessachka is a partnered Twitch Streamer, who mains Destiny & Destiny 2. She was the first streamer to implement interactive features such a heart rate monitor to track her real time heart-rate as well as “mini zoo” cam.

Tessachka earned partnership within 3 months of joining Twitch, thanks to a staff member who dropped by one of her streams. A subsequent visit brought a Time Magazine reporter who wrote a piece on Tessachka and how she handles her stream and her interactions with her community via the heart rate monitor and zoo cam.

She joined twitch as a way to play single player focused games - while primarily an Eve Online Player, she missed chatting with team mates while playing single player games and was turned towards Twitch.tv by a friend, where she could have the same level of interaction while enjoying single player focused games. While she hasn’t been long on twitch, in her time she has grown massively.
